Are you a director of a limited company?

The duties and responsibilities of a director are many and varied, and are not always stacked in your favour.

Did you know…?

• If you put money into the company, and the company becomes insolvent, you’ll be at the bottom of the list of creditors. Talk to us about how to make yourself a secured creditor.
• If you breach any of your duties as a director you could be disqualified as a director and even prosecuted for criminal offences. Make sure you know what’s expected of you.
• If you file your company accounts or annual returns late, you’re liable for a fine. Avoid unnecessary costs by talking to us first.
• If you wish to keep confidential certain personal matters, you need to draw up a private agreement between shareholders, so that these matters (the Articles of a Company) are not publicly available as a matter of course at Companies House. Let us advise you.
